Imagine your camping, hiking, bussiness traveller, out at a late night club, festival or a vehicle breakdown and your phone runs out of power !!! Flat Attack will give you 60 minutes of talk time, 2 hours of text or 7 hours on standby.

Flat Attack does not replace your day to day charger. Flat Attack is an emergency top up / Juice up charge, for android and apple devices, when you are away from normal power means.

Thank you all for your support and help in spreading the word on your sites:

Flat Attack is an Australian Designed, emergency charger for when you have NO JUICE or your phone battery is DEAD FLAT.

Flat Attack uses state of the art technology that maximises the energy from one AA battery and converts this energy faster than a USB lap top lead charger.

This is the problem:

Other charging devices are very heavy, bulky and they have long and cumbersome leads that are easy to misplace.

This is the solution: Flat Attack

Flat Attack will not go dead like rechargables, AA batteries last for years when not in use.

Flat Attack has been designed to comply with the new (green) environmental standards, that have been implemented for charging devices to the European Standard.

This is another current problem:

U.S. Tightens Security on Electronics at Overseas Airports

WASHINGTON
— The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will not allow cellphones
or other electronic devices on U.S.-bound planes at some overseas
airports if the devices are not charged up.

Officials are concerned that a cellphone, tablet, laptop or other
electronic device could be used as an explosive device.

This is the solution: Flat Attack

Imagine you had a flat / dead mobile phone and a flat/ dead recharger. This would mean you will lose both devices, on the spot at the security check point.

With Flat Attack you know your phone charger and phone will not be dead flat, because you are carring a Flat Attack. The AA battery will not become dead inside Flat Attack, whlst not being used.

Charging leads are often lost and add to all the Hydrocarbons (plastics) that enter as waste, into our environment. Flat Attack does not have all these extra leads.

Every Recharger has its function and place

Rechargable Devices:

Pros

Can give a full charge or more.

Cons

If you have forgotten to recharge them, they go flat like your phone.

Usually very bulky and require charging leads.

When purchased from a shop they are generally low in charge.

You require a power charge point (lap top) to charge them, which is not available 24 hours a day.

Motion charge devices:

Pros

If you are out riding a bike or running all the time, they keep charging

Cons

If you have forgotten to recharge them, because they take a few hours of motion to recharge, they go flat.

Usually very bulky and require charging leads.

Flat Attack:

Pros

Provides a instant charge to a dead flat phone and will restart within a few minutes being ready to talk straight away.

Flat Attack provides up to 7 hours of charge time. This can equate to up to 57% for Androids and 40% for Apple phones.

From Perth, Australia, we decided to use the amazing Kickstarter to launch Flat Attack and ship our first products to you,
our backers !

With your support, the funds raised will be used to reach
minimum order quantities with our factory and go straight into the first full production run, package and ship it
to you. You get Flat Attack FIRST tin the World, so you can give Flat Attack to your friends and loved ones.

Don't put your children, friends, loved ones, elderly and yourself at risk of not being able to contact each other by their mobile phones.

Flat Attack Key Charger, Is just a smaller compact version of your normal charging USB Lead. It requires a power source like a laptop, just like your factory charing lead for your phone.

Flat Attack Key Charger allows users to plug in and charge or sync devices from any computer without having to carry a charger. This device does not store power.

Flat Attack Key Charger - USB Port Charger. Requires mains power from a lap top or USB connection to work.

Photos Of Some Rewards

Flat Attack has a permanent Micro USB (Android) head. See how the Apple 5-6 Adapter (8 Pin Lightning) is secured by the key ring holder. It is extremely secure.

The Flat Attack charging device, is a slim form factor multi platform emergency charging device, that utilises SMD components and multi-layer PCB construction to minimise footprint and increase efficiency. The initial design and implementation of Flat Attack has changed over a number of revisions and has been refined into a device capable of use in a variety of environments with regular use.

Flat Attack uses the common AA size battery, to allow for maximum compatibility with cutting edge lithium cells (used in cameras, phones, mobile gaming devices, etc) while retaining compatibility with existing Alkaline or Layer-Construction batteries with great efficiency. Depending on phone model and specifications of the internal battery of the mobile device, gains of up to 57% have been recorded in test environments with Lithium Cells, and up to 25% in Alkaline. (Data available by request).

Current Development Circuit

As the diagram above shows, the circuit is simple in nature removing many of the pitfalls of devices in similar categories - By reducing the component count to a minimum bare bones solution, points of failure are decreased and efficiency is maintained. Simple indicator LED’s have been chosen to maximise the current able to be delivered to the battery and reduce the complexity of interfaces associated with typical products of this nature.

The driver delivers a 500mAh 5v output required for most mobile devices on the market to date. This not only meets requirements for EMI and CE certification, but also provides a low noise output with sensitive electronics in mind.

Power source = 1 x AA battery 1.5V ( 3100mAh).

Everything we do we test, control and test more in Australia, Canada and our factory. Note Apple 6 Adapter secured to Micro USB Head and charging

As the product is designed with the Micro USB style connector for primary use, the Flat Attack maintains a high standard of compatibility with most Micro-USB devices, not only limited to Mobile Phones, but a series of portable speakers, bluetooth headsets, smart watches and a number of open source community projects such as the Arduino and Raspberry Pi computer.

Why we went Green

Design Philosophy

“There will be 2.3 billion smartphone users in 2015 which will contribute to the 4.75 billion people worldwide using a mobile phone” Source: Emarketer.com

Flat Attack has been designed to comply with the new (green) environmental standards that have been implemented for charging devices to the European Standard, which have been the standard in Europe since 2010. (Micro USB Port).

This standard has been implemented to save the hydrocarbon waste which is produced by having multiple chargers or leads and adapters for different phones. Hence the reduction of excessive hydrocarbon wastes eg: plastics being discarded.

Flat Attack (Trade Marked) has been designed to comply with the new environmental standards and has a Micro USB port. This Micro USB port is 50% more energy efficient and will now be the preferred charger pin for all devices. This means no leads that end up in rubbish fills and damage the environment.

Risks and challenges

Our only foreseable very small issue will be gearing up for production. This time of year is very busy at our factory.

We have warned the factory and we are in constant communication on a weekly basis. So we are ready to go right now !

So we think we are well prepared to handle foreseen risks, but there are always unforeseen obstacles. We feel we have given ourselves enough time to tackle these issues and deliver a quality product on schedule.

In fact we are doing a small production run right now !!!

Flat Attack has quality control documentation, testing procedures and owns all tooling to make the device.We use external auditors that will constantly inspect the production line to ensure the best quality for you.
